We were on the Dawn Princess November 30th. Margarita is 30 miles from the coast. We did not get off the ship, and I was furious that they even pulled in, as they instructed the crew not to get off the ship in Margarita. You can try it, but the strike is on there as well, but not the rioting like on the mainland. It wouldn't surprise me if the State Department puts a block on travel there, as there is one in Caracas. Just way too risky for me. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
